The Council made changes in the doctrine by reaffirming church law. In addition, the Church reaffirmed old definitions of sacraments, kept the saints and purgatory, and most importantly, proclaimed priests as men with holy power, rather than as ministers. Through the adjustment of the doctrine, the Church was much more refined. Proclaiming the priests were to be considered as men with holy power allows the public to view the church to be more faithful, as well as establishing a closer connection to god, and creating closer relations between the church and the people. The Council also made changes in terms of practices. Before, bishops of the church were frequently absent from their work. In order to improve the clergy, the Council began to implant more bishops into cities, and had them create a seminary in order to train and educate priests. Through proper education, the clergy became more supervised, more educated, and more often celibate. The changes in the doctrine and practices had a positive impact in such a way that it resulted in a less corrupt and more devoted Catholic
